Go-Spoof: A Tool for Cyber Deception

Go-Spoof is a Golang rewrite of the classic Portspoof deception tool that makes all 65,535 TCP ports appear open with fake banners and service versions to confuse and slow attackers. The article explains the tool's purpose and benefits for defensive deception, gives installation and launch commands (including an iptables PREROUTING redirect to port 4444), shows an example Nmap scan, and positions the project as an accessible, open-source resource for system administrators, researchers, and CTF competitors.
